Kubernetes IP Calculator

Live tool: https://jhooq.com/tools/kubernetes-ip-calculator/

How many IP addresses does your EKS, GKE, AKS or on-premises Kubernetes cluster really need? Pick the cloud, the instance type or the pods per node, the node count and the zones. You get:

• the maximum pods per node and which rule set it (ENI formula, prefix delegation, managed node group cap),
• the VPC addresses every node takes, including the warm pool the CNI keeps,
• the subnet size per zone (EKS), the node Pod range and Pod secondary range (GKE), the node subnet and pod space (AKS), the nodes a pod CIDR holds plus the node VLAN and MetalLB pool (on-premises: kubeadm, Mirantis MKE, RKE2, OpenShift, Tanzu, Talos),
• a diagram of the cluster (VPC, zones, subnets, one tile per node with a square per address) drawn from the same numbers,
• a checks list with a link to the documentation page each rule came from,
• one click to open the result in the VPC Subnet Planner, and Terraform, CLI and Markdown exports.

The rules it applies

Cloud and mode	Max pods per node	What a node takes from your network	Source
EKS, VPC CNI secondary IPs	ENIs x (IPs per ENI - 1) + 2; managed node groups cap at 110 (< 30 vCPU) or 250	every attached ENI is fully allocated; WARM_ENI_TARGET 1 keeps a spare ENI	EKS instance types, VPC CNI README
EKS, prefix delegation	slots x 16 + 2, capped at 110 or 250	prefixes x 16 + one primary per ENI; needs contiguous /28 blocks	EKS prefix mode
EKS, custom networking	(ENIs - 1) x (IPs per ENI - 1) + 2 (m5.large: 20), or x 16 with prefixes (290); same cap	1 address per node in the node subnet; Pod ENIs and their addresses in a per-zone subnet from a secondary CIDR (100.64.0.0/10); 5 IPv4 CIDR blocks per VPC by default	EKS custom networking, tutorial, VPC quotas
EKS, Windows nodes	IPs per ENI - 1 on the single ENI (m5.large: 9), or x 16 with Windows prefix delegation (144); kubelet max-pods default 110	primary + one per Pod + warm-ip-target 1 (minimum-ip-target 3), or primary + prefixes x 16	Windows support, prefix mode for Windows
EKS, IPv6 cluster	(ENIs x (IPs per ENI - 1) x 16) + 2, same cap; prefix delegation mandatory	one IPv4 per node; Pods and Services IPv6 only; /80 per node from the subnet /64; Nitro only; no custom networking; set at creation	IPv6 clusters, IPv6 best practices
EKS, cluster subnets	-	6 free addresses per subnet minimum (16 recommended), 2 AZs; service CIDR /12 to /24 in a private range, no VPC overlap	EKS network requirements, API reference
GKE, VPC-native	8 to 256 (default 110, Autopilot 32)	node Pod range /(31 - ceil(log2(pods))); node pool Pod range >= /24; primary range reserves 4	GKE max Pods per node, VPC-native clusters
AKS, Azure CNI Overlay	250	one VNet address per node; pods from a /24 per node out of the pod CIDR (default 10.244.0.0/16)	AKS IP planning
AKS, Azure CNI Pod Subnet	110	nodes in the node subnet, pods in a VNet pod subnet in batches of 16; pod subnet <= /16	AKS dynamic IP allocation
AKS, Azure CNI node subnet (legacy)	30	(nodes + surge) + (nodes + surge) x maxPods, assigned up front	AKS IP planning
